After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Trail Blazers 104-100. Every possession went the Hawks way. The Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
